Alpinestars Bogota Drystar XF Gloves - Black / Black These gloves are very comfortable, with good flexibility but still an element of keeping hand warm in milder conditions. No lacking on the quality and feel comfortable to wear on a daily basis. Great pair of gloves!
Alpinestars Supertech R Vented Boots - White / Mid Grey / Black Amazing!! Worth it and looks good
Alpinestars Bogota Pro Drystar 4 Seasons Textile Trousers - Black / Black I bought these to replace my Andes v3 trousers that weren't doing a great job of keeping me dry. I can say that they are muxh better at doing that job!
The trousers come with 3 layers - the textile outer, a waterproof soft shell and a thermal liner which does make these feel a bit bulky and more snug to put on. Definitely try before you buy and probably go up an extra size!
Overall im impressed with them, plenty of pockets and comfortable with the flex armour. It also comes with the hip protectors which I hadn't realised. Another nice bonus and saves you buying them as an extra.
Alpinestars Bogota Pro Drystar Textile Jacket - Ice Grey / Black / Cyan What I didnt realise when purchasing this jacket is that it consists of 3 layers, the outer jacket, a waterproof soft shell and a thermal liner. This does make it a bit bulky but it does also make it more waterproof than the Andes jacket I used to own.
One thing to bear in mind is that you do need to remmeber to zip up tje waterproof soft shell inside as well otherwise you lose a layer of waterproofing.
All in all though its a nice jacket, comfortable with its flex armour, plenty of pockets and it keeps me drier than either of the other jackets I have used recently (oxford Montreal and Alpinestars Andes 3).
Definitely try before you buy as the sizing does come up small! My t shirt size is a small and Im wearing a large...
I cant speak for how good the thermal liner is as ive removed it for a keis heated jacket instead.
Alpinestars R10 Rubber Plug for Chin Vent - Black Fits snug, hard to believe the alpinestars r10 helmet doesn't have flip down vent for the chin section,instead you have to physically remove and replace a rubber bung. I purchased 2 of these as I lost my original one, so if I lose another one, I'll have a spare.
Alpinestars Supertech R Vented Boots - White / Mid Grey / Black I´m happy with my purchase and the customer service
